HIKROBOT MV-CT2CU0050/G/16LC/WN — Area Scan Cameras

The HIKROBOT MV-CT2CU0050/G/16LC/WN is a color model from the MAX tier of the CT series USB3.0 area scan camera family. Its 2448 × 2048 resolution allows fine details along production lines to be distinguished, while a frame rate of up to 80.0 fps lets moving objects be captured without smearing or blur in the image. The camera uses back-illuminated (BSI) sensor technology, which aims to deliver usable image quality even under lower-light conditions. This combination offers balanced performance for color image-processing applications on lines that require both high resolution and fast operation. The 3rd-generation CT series body and C-Mount lens connection allow flexible setup with different optical choices.

Because this is a MAX-tier model, the lens and light source are integrated into the camera body; focusing and illumination can be managed directly from the camera without a separate controller or additional cabling, which simplifies installation. The USB 3.0 interface carries both data and power over a single cable. USB3.0 models in the CT series are designed to work with HIKROBOT MVS software and third-party GenICam-based machine vision software. Waterproof connector structures may also be present in PRO and MAX tier models of the CT series.

Specifications

Key features

• Integrated lens and illumination. The MAX version integrates the lens and light source into the body; lens focusing and illumination control are handled from the camera.
• High-bandwidth Type-C. The Type-C interface supports higher transmission bandwidth.
• Open standard compliance. Works seamlessly with the USB3 Vision protocol, the GenICam standard and third-party software built on them.
• Waterproof connection. PRO and MAX versions use a waterproof connector; IP67 is reached when correctly installed.
• Precision temperature control. PRO and MAX versions include a precision temperature control design for fast heat balance, which keeps measurement stable over long cycles.
• Automatic colour correction. Colour models of the PRO and MAX versions support auto colour correction based on multi-spectral fusion technology.

Where it is used

The 2448 × 2048 resolution provides enough detail for applications where small defects or fine measurement points need to be distinguished. A frame rate of up to 80.0 fps helps keep the image from lagging in counting, positioning, and presence/absence inspection tasks on fast-moving lines. Together, these characteristics make the camera a suitable choice for general machine vision applications such as image-based quality control, part counting, and position verification on a production line.

Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, line speed and surface characteristics. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
